Pros

Same pros already mentioned. Free lunches, snacks, and "Geek Desks" are all nice but very superficial. The only thing really nice is the flexible hours and dress.

Cons

Google any survey for what matters to employees and you get a list of things that don't exist at ShipStation. Here is a list I found... Learn and grow in their jobs - NO Do work that is challenging and meaningful - SOMETIMES Work with good people - YES, EXCEPT FOR MANAGEMENT Feel like they are a valued team member - NOPE, NEVER Work with good bosses - NO Be recognized for their contributions - NO Be autonomous and feel in control of the work - NO Have flexibility in their hours and dress - YES It's not on the list but I think most employees expect that their employer will provide sufficient parking and bathroom facilities.

Pros

Free snacks, catered lunches every Thursday, geek desks, and early on a really great sense that you are a part of something exciting.

Cons

No advancement. When positions open up employees have no opportunity to apply for them. Instead a sort of back ally deal takes place in secret where they choose a candidate from their favorites and move them into the position with barely an announcement to the team. They currently employ the method of rotating their level 1 employees into an open level 2 position each month. This ensures they can continue paying the employees at a level 1 salary while giving them a false sense of importance. Most level 1 employees work well beyond their 40 hours and are not compensated for this. The work load is impossible and the pressure put on them by the upper management (CEO in particular) is unreasonable, if not uncomfortable and uncalled for. Very unprofessional.

Pros

If you are friends with the CEO you can pretty much do whatever you like. Compensation is good.

Cons

LOTS of firings, everybody is unhappy. I can't put too many details in the review because upper management is constantly crusading against anything negative and they will fire anyone that happens to say anything bad. It's very clear here that there is only one rule at this company: be friends with upper management. If you aren't, you are constantly under fire, regardless of your actual performance.
